SJP Is Planning Second Teach-In

By Samuel Z. Goldhaber

Students for a Just Peace (SJP), which sponsored the March 26 "Counter Teach-In" in Sanders Theatre, applied on Monday for a permit to use Sanders Theatre for another teach-in on May 3.

The application, submitted to Dean Epps, stated that representatives of the South Vietnamese embassy, the Pentagon, the White House or the State Department, and a Boston-area scholar would speak. May 3 is also the date antiwar organizers have set for a mass civil disobedience in Washington.

Epps said last night, "I fully expect the [SJP] permit to be issued in a day or so." Epps said he discussed the SJP application yesterday at previously scheduled meetings of the Administrative Board, the Committee on Students and Community Relations, and the Executive Committee of the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life.

Laszlo Pasztor '73, co-chairman of SJP, said last night, "We hope many of the radicals will be in Washington and will let us have our counter teaching in peace. But we're very tight time-wise. If we can't get a definite list of speakers by the end of the month, then we probably won't hold it."

Pasztor added that except for Nguyen Hoan of the South Vietnamese embassy and Moderator Lawrence MeCarty, he expects to have "a new cast of characters."
